Likely Letters

Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College

<p>Yeah, I’m pretty sure they don’t send likelies to deferred ED applicants :/</p>

<p>@Iboss1223 Hmm, interesting. Makes sense now that you mention it- Cornell also sends a decent amount of likelies too, and it’s probably because of the same reason as Dartmouth.</p>

62

<p>@barvoets Yeah, likelies are never sent to deferred applicants.</p>

63

<p>Barvoets, as deferred ED applicants, we can only hope to get in RD.</p>

<p>Likely letters won’t come our way, sadly. Maybe from other schools though.</p>

64

<p>Yeah, I’ve got a likely from one of my more safety schools so at least I know I’m almost in one school. Any idea when Cornell sends theirs out?</p>

65

<p>Harvard / Yale sent theirs out not too long ago, so everybody will probably follow soon…</p>

66

<p>Just seen a guy on the Harvard thread (also from the UK) who got a Likely. He’s chair of the youth wing of his centre-right party. I am hardcore left-wing and I’ve just seen a whole bunch of articles he wrote online about ‘loony-lefties’. Haha you might be able to guess how I feel.</p>

67

<p>@POmani Did you apply to Harvard also? Or did he get a likely from Dartmouth? Sorry I’m on my phone and too lazy to look lol.</p>

68

<p>Haha, no worries Shelly. He didn’t get a Likely from Dartmouth (to the best of my knowledge) and I have also applied to Harvard. But since we were talking about Likelies in general I thought I’d mention this here.</p>

69

<p>Next week should be the date. I say 2/11 seems to be a good date to mark.</p>

70

<p>If that’s the case, I feel like it’s important to remember that whether or not we get this letter does not determine our chances of being admitted by Dartmouth (or any other college) at all. And I know that many of us (myself included lol) will probably continue to check our mail with that slight bit of hope, but I just needed to put that out there, perhaps as a reminder to myself haha.</p>

71

<p>^^ Good point, shelly318. D got a likely from D, not from that H school, but ended up admitted to both. You just don’t know what drives which decisions. That said, I’ll wish for many likely letters to come to the posters on this site, since it is a great relief – especially if D is your #1 school</p>

72

<p>D is my #1 school</p>

73

<p>49 minutes into 2/11 and already anxiously hitting that refresh button on my email…</p>

<p>Just kidding, but really. Though I heard Dartmouth sends them out in batches starting in February, so perhaps those of us bound to get one will at a much later time…</p>

74

<p>Come on guys, peace out. The vast majority of admitted students will not receive a likely. Please don’t stress about it! It’s just not worth it.</p>

75

<p>Yeah it’s very likely that none of us on this thread will get a likely letter!! :p</p>

<p>Unless of course we’ve got a super-duper applicant among us!! </p>

<p>But then again, this discussion just helps to pass time!! :D</p>

76

<p>@honorlions does dartmouth send an email about the likely beforehand? o.O</p>

77

<p>Not sure about D, but other schools show the acceptance on the applicant account or yes email the applicants about likelies.</p>

78

<p>You can find likely emails on google if you search it.</p>

<p>But yeah as Rishav said, don’t stress about the likelies everyone! It’s unlikely to get a likely (see the word play there? haha).</p>

79

<p>

</p>

<p>Not stressing, but with a likely letter in my hand, I’d just feel… justified about no longer caring about AP Physics.</p>

<p>How big are athletics at Dartmouth compared to other ivies?</p>
